The unexpected often comes: Blizzard Entertainment has announced an animated mini-series about Overwatch 2 – and this will already start in the new week.
If you are a little more interested in the lore of Overwatch 2, Blizzard Entertainment will surprise you with a new format. The start of an animated mini-series has been announced for the coming week, which will be available on YouTube from July 6, 2023.
The first episode is called “Genesis – Part One: Dawn” and starts on Thursday; You can watch a first trailer after this message. This also features some of the characters that will be featured in the mini-series. Episode 1 apparently focuses on the original Omnic Crisis and features Reaper, Reinhardt and Ana.
In Overwatch lore, humanity reached near-utopia states through the use of omnics and AI until the omnics called for revolt. This sparked a worldwide war and created Overwatch, which fought the omnics and protected the citizens. The organization later fell apart due to corruption and the like.
After the first episode, two more Genesis episodes are planned; a start date was not given for each of these initially.
